10. Leadership, Culture and Climate

11. The standard you walk past is the standard you set.

12. Culture and Climate In setting the climate of the school, leaders at all levels need to be working hard to engage their staff so they go the extra mile, they should also ensure there is a culture of trust, honesty and open feedback across the organisation.

13. Culture Climate what you see happening on a daily basis in your school. For example, is there a culture of high expectations from all pupils and staff or is there an underlying assumption that certain groups will not succeed. about how it feels to work in your school or team, including morale, the trust within the team and how appreciated people feel.

14. Leadership Styles - Daniel Goleman Daniel Goleman has written about 6 different leadership styles. It is really important to understand your own personal dominant leadership style as this self reflection enables you to consider the impact on your culture and climate in your school.

16. Middle Leaders • Appropriate training and development • Apprenticeship levy to fund leadership development for teachers • Ensure you train middle leaders in basic HR practice • Training on how to run effective meetings • 360 feedback • Coaching and mentoring

17. Employee Engagement • Alignment- are employees aligned in the leadership of the school and are they clear about the purpose, vision and values? • Involvement- are employees involved in decisions that affect the school and do they have the opportunity to influence these and have a say? • Loyalty- are employees planning to stay at the school? Do they have a career path and a long-term future there? Are employees advocates for the school and would they recommend it as a place to work or to send their own children? Would your employees recommend your school as a place to work? Would they recommend your school to friends and family as a place to send their children?

18. Workforce Plan Discuss: What does a good workforce plan look like?

19. Some workforce planning tips… • Looking ahead. A good workforce plan will typically plan or a three to five year cycle and be totally aligned to your school development plan. It will account for your financial forecast, your educational goals and supply and demand such as pupil numbers. • Hard planning. This is essentially about numbers and predicting how many people you will need with what skills. • Soft planning. Thinking about tackling broader issues to address recruitment and retention of staff including how you can identify and develop leadership talent, identifying ‘star’ performers and what will keep them and how flexible working can support staff retention and reduce turnover rates.

21. Managing Talent In a school environment there may be different forms of potential talent you are developing including: • Individuals with leadership potential, including middle leaders or middle leaders with potential to be senior leaders • Trainee teachers and NQTs • Experienced teachers in specific subjects or phases who are strong performers in classroom and would be difficult to replace if they eft e.g. maths teacher • Support staff - train to teach, or professional areas such as HR, finance etc

26. Tackling teacher workload and creating a culture of well-being. • Taking steps to reduce the actual workload overall might be quite limiting • The work doesn’t magically disappear • There is no magic pill • Start putting helping people to cope with workload at the centre rather than the workload itself.
